註釋Beginning in the late 1860s, Los Ojitos was populated by Hispanic settlers coming from land grants further north, where lands were communally owned and they maintained acequia, or irrigational systems, along river valleys and other public structures. At this new location, settlers to Los Ojitos were required to adapt to the new legal system that focused on private property rights and ownership, including adaptation to the physical environment where the river was noted to be more flood-prone and saline. Due to the socio-political shifts in laws and land tenure system after American conquest in New Mexico, historical research and archaeological investigation of the rural Los Ojitos Village aids scholarship in understanding how Hispanic settlers may have adapted to American laws and environment in the Rio Pecos area. Identifying how these settlers adapted, why, and what impact these changes had on their cultural identity are aims of this research. Drawing on social identity theory, theories of cultural contact and change, and ecological theory, this research is significant in expanding our understanding of the roles these shifts in community or individual practices plays in New Mexico Hispanic identity following the American conquest. Focusing this research on water regimes and waterscapes, archaeological investigation on the homesteads of the Ronquillo and Valdez family claims, at Los Ojitos, has resulted in the identification of water management practices and adaptations occurring at the site. Oral history interviews and consultation at the site confirm that the settlers relied on spring waters rather than river water, and how the associated water features near spring locations may have shaped cultural views regarding Hispanic identity.
